In theory all of these models could be used in Commandos 2.

Cars and trucks are easier to export than tanks so I first tried to convert the model of a truck.

As you can see, the result of my first attempt was much too big, so I had to scale the model down to 1/3 of its original size.

For testing I just used it as a replacement for the standard Mercedes L3000.

How do you change size of abi files?

I was wondering because I wanted to scale another object

I imported the ABI into 3ds Max and scaled it there.

Just wanted to share this 3ds Max script that I just finished.

It allows us to import the vehicles and weapons from Strike Force: RPC Importer

Is this 3ds Max script written by yourself?

I rewrote the whole script but it's based on a script by lwd5099 (老顽童5099). I couldn't have done it without him.

Hello folks, I've been playing around with the games files, and trying to convert the RPC 3ds max sciprt to work with blender, 

 

I have a python script that seems to work with blender but there are so many issues with it so i decided to re reinterpret the RPC files format and came to a conclusion, 

 

The files are storing data in a generic way, you will often see a 12 byte long structure which is represented like this 

struct RpcSectionHeader {
    u32 type;
    u32 size;
    u32 padding;// this is a special value to identify the end of the header section
};

knowing this, you can parse the whole file, now the tricky thing is to identify the type and how to parse it exactly. example: the first byte in the file is always 16, which i assume to mean "RPC_FILE" , now the size in this case means the file (content - header size (12 bytes)), an so on for all section,

 

All of this is theortical and can be changed. 

 

I just wanted to see if someone still interested in this game as much as me so we can share what we have to create a proper extractor

Hi there,

Since Strike Force was developed with the RenderWare engine, the overall structure of the files is similar to that of other RW games, like GTA3.

To import a model into blender, there is one solution on github (link)
With its help you can easily open any model in blender with a correct rig
But with the export, it's a whole nightmare that has been fought for a year and a half already iirc
So far correctly you can export only static props, first person hand models and weapons. Everything else is broken due to the specific of the addon

Thank you very much sir, I can export the data now    and import to blender (https://github.com/H...force-extractor) still underdevelopment but I'm getting there
